nnIsraeli gunfire killed at least 32 Palestinians near aid distribution points in Khan Younis and Rafah, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry. The incident occurred near facilities operated by the US/Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which denied any incidents at its sites but acknowledged earlier Israeli military activity. An eyewitness described the gunfire as ‘targeted to kill,’ while the Israeli military stated troops fired warning shots at approaching ‘suspects’ before the aid sites opened. This adds to over 674 UN-recorded killings near aid sites in recent weeks amid Israel’s claims that the GHF system prevents Hamas from stealing supplies. The violence occurs during a severe malnutrition crisis in Gaza, with 69 child deaths reported and ongoing ceasefire negotiations.
